Neuropathy can affect the brain. It can damage the cranial nerves that lead out of the brain. The cranial nerves, except for cranial nerve II which is the optic nerve, are a part of the peripheral nervous system.
peripheral neuropathy
Perpheral neuropathy refers to the conditions that result when nerves that connect to the brain and spinal cord from the rest of the body are damaged or diseased. The most common symptoms of perpheral neuropathy are tingling, numbness, and loss of sensation in the arms and legs.
Peripheral nervous disorders or peripheral neuropathies are disorders of the peripheral nerves, which carry information to and from the brain and spinal cord.
